This fourth volume of the Atlas of the Ancient Near East (OCAVOA) collects 15 contributions by members of the three Units composing the PRIN 2017 ‘Eranshahr: Man Landscape and Society in Arsacid and Sasanian Iran. Texts, material culture, and society from Arsaces to Yazdegard III. Three case studies: Pars, Pahlaw and Khuzestan’ (2017PR34CS). These papers were presented during the conclusive workshop of the project, held in Ravenna on February 22-23, 2024. The project was conceived in 2017 and launched in 2018, representing a collaborative effort by a multidisciplinary team of scholars from Sapienza University of Rome, Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna, and Turin University, as well as several international partners. The project aimed to study the long millennium bridging two important transition periods in the history of western Asia, the first marking the passage from the Seleucid to the Arsacid era, the second being the fall of the Sasanian Empire and the rise of the Islamic Caliphate. In this framework, the book contains a set of archaeological, historical-geographical, and cultural studies on three ancient regions of western Iran during the Arsacid, Sasanian, and early Islamic periods, which combine into a coherent and innovative narration, shedding new light on the Iranian world in Antiquity, Late-Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages and opening the way for future investigations.

During 2022 and 2023, our field activities focused on Wadi al-Maʻawil, a very large wadi close to the Muslimāt village in between Nakhal and Afī oasis, where in 2022 we discovered a completely unexplored and multifaceted ecotope. We selected a 10 x 10 Km squared area encompassing this ecotope after ground truthing because of the high intensity of the archaeological features and because it featured three adaptive conditions: the presence of large widyān with central terraces, the presence of an anthropized oasis and the presence of a possible ancient settlement pattern in which the anthropic features (settlements, graves, pathways) were almost close together and intervisible. This volume studies the landscape of the site and classifies, studies, and describes all the finds during the excavations and survey campaigns of 2022 and 2023.

From the Earliest Settlements to the Historical Periods: Archaeological sites in the Eastern Anatolian Highlands (Türkiye) from the Chalcolithic to the Iron Age

The dataset represents the repository of the archaeological sites (n=796) for the Eastern Anatolian Highlands, from the known earliest settlements of the Chalcolithic Age (ca. 5000 BC) to the end of the Iron Age (ca. 200 BC).


Open Access Journal: Accessible German New Testament Scholarship

ISSN: 3068-6660 
Each issue of Accessible German New Testament Scholarship is a curated collection of significant contributions to New Testament scholarship from the German-speaking world. They have been translated and presented here as an attempt to continue bridging the continental divide, which is at times separated by more than language but also methodological and exegetical traditions. It is our hope that this journal will continue to close that divide.

Self-Review of The Messianic Secret

Paul as Storyteller? Conclusion

Talk of “narrative” structures in the Letters of Paul has significantly shaped the exegetical discussion in the Anglophone sphere for some time. The “narrative approach,” which was especially inspired by Richard B. Hays and N. T. Wright, faces, however, a skeptical...

Open Access Journal: Hieroglyphs

[First posted in AWOL 17 January 2024, updated 29 January 2026]
 
e-ISSN = 2983-6573

Hieroglyphs (e-ISSN = 2983-6573) is an internationally peer-reviewed open access e-journal aiming to promote the academic study of hieroglyphs in all their dimensions in Egyptology and with a comparative angle extending to other hieroglyphic traditions and writing systems with a strongly iconic component. The journal provides a dedicated home for studies of hieroglyphs in all their semiotic, linguistic, cognitive, aesthetic, cultural, and material aspects.

Hieroglyphs invites serious academic discussions on the following, non-exclusive list of themes in Egyptology and in other hieroglyphic or related traditions:

  • the semiotics and linguistics of hieroglyphic writing systems
  • categorization and representation of knowledge in hieroglyphic signs
  • the repertoire of signs, and discussions of individual signs, their forms, visual and cultural referents, and “biographies” (diachronic aspects)
  • relations to iconography and visual/aesthetic culture; extended practices of hieroglyphic writing (enigmatic writing; visual poetry; etc.)
  • graphic ideologies of hieroglyphic writing: the power of hieroglyphs and issues of ontology; hieroglyphs in society; hieroglyphs and authority; hieroglyphs and materiality
  • the reception of hieroglyphs, ancient (including pseudo-hieroglyphs) and modern; history of research
  • in the case of Egyptian hieroglyphs, their relation to other varieties (hieratic, demotic): influences and hybrid registers
  • comparative approaches to any of the above aspects of hieroglyphic writing across diverse traditions
  • comparative studies of Egyptian hieroglyphs and other complex writing systems - between universals and the culturally specific.
